Germania Mint – Innovating and ennobling numismatics

Germania Mint is not only a pioneer in crafting innovative and groundbreaking collectible coins but also a leader in ennobling them for third parties. For years, we have successfully applied our expertise to enhance numismatic creations. The cutting-edge technologies we have developed are showcased in our own collections – such as Germania Beasts, Valkyries, Golden Eagle, and Runes – as well as in the exceptional projects we refine for our partners.

What is Metallic Colours?

Metallic Colours is an exceptional ennobling technique within our broader coin colouring service. It involves applying paints onto the surface of coins using advanced digital technology. What makes Metallic Colours unique is its ultra-thin metallic coating, which enhances the coin’s design with a refined luster – without requiring additional lacquers. This subtle layer accentuates the intricate relief of the coin, bringing out even the finest details of the design.

How does it work?

The secret of the Metallic Colours effect lies in the precise layering of the colours on the coins. The colours are shiny by nature, so they retain their metallic luster. Using additional layers, we can also achieve more subdued colours, but it is the shiny effect that makes the image of the coin so impressive. Vibrant hues attract the eye and better display the coin’s relief.

Metallic Colours in action: Representatives of the Species

Our technique has been splendidly showcased in the “Representatives of the Species” coin series, produced in collaboration with the Mint of Poland. The series, famous for capturing the beauty of nature, perfectly demonstrates the potential of Metallic Colours.

• Niue Island 2024 – Betta Fish 2 oz Silver HR: Featuring a stunning red and blue fighter fish, the coin’s metallic luster brilliantly highlights the intricate details of its scales and fins, celebrating both the vibrancy and elegance of aquatic life.

• Niue Island 2023 – Chameleon 2 oz Silver HR: An earlier release, this coin utilized a combination of ruthenium coating and Metallic Colours to capture the shimmering scales of the chameleon. Shades of green, blue, and red sparkle vividly, perfectly accentuating the coin’s high relief design.

Why choose Metallic Colours?

This innovative ennobling does more than simply beautify your coins – it amplifies their collectible and market value. Whether you’re aiming to enrich your collection, communicate a unique message, or elevate the aesthetic of your numismatic pieces, Metallic Colours offers unparalleled quality and visual appeal.

Stay tuned as we continue exploring the fascinating world of coin ennobling, bringing you closer to understanding how each technology contributes to the creation of exceptional numismatic treasures.
